Actio.Ventures® was also founded to promote intra-entrepreneurship

In addition to accelerating external projects, Actio.Ventures also focuses on fostering intrapreneurship. For this reason, it will also operate as an accelerator of projects promoted by members of its team. Some examples are Actio.Haus with the objective of becoming a venue for acceleration and incubation of startups and technological disruption projects; Gembawall, an OKR-based tool that guides companies in translating strategy both into execution and systemic innovation, its prototype version already applied by large companies such as Unilever, Adevinta, Bolton, Chiesi or Angelini; Actio. Design, a platform that brings the methods used by ActioGlobal in enterprises closer to any user, or Inn-Be striving for excellence in education by integrating ActioGlobal’s methods of innovation, learning and collaboration used in leading companies into schools and universities.

As venture builder of the projects emerging from the ActioGlobal® team, Actio.Ventures® is currently committed to investing in and developing Actio.Design, Inn-Be, GembaWall® and Actio.Haus. The latter project strives to become a venue for acceleration and incubation of startups and technological disruption projects, providing infrastructure, community, knowledge and mentoring for their growth.

Actio.Ventures is also developing GembaWall®, a tool that integrates OKR, Agile and Lean Startup to translate strategy both into execution and systemic innovation, which in its MVP version is already applied by large companies such as Unilever, Danone, Adevinta, Angelini, Bolton Food, Bancolombia Panama in more than 30 different countries.

Actio.Ventures thus takes on the role of a catalyst for entrepreneurial activity, both internally and externally, leveraging its experience in transforming exponentially growing companies and organizations, as well as its knowledge of the future of work, New Work and digital technologies.

Why Actio.Ventures®?

ActioGlobal® founded Actio.Ventures® driven by the belief that in today’s world, entrepreneurship and leadership are the most powerful force to change the world.

According to the Actio.Ventures® team’s own words, the new VC pursues the following objectives:

1. Accelerate projects with people and companies we believe in, working hand in hand with founders, leaders and investors with whom we make a positive impact.

2. Be close to the startups to continue to create disruption within large companies, revolutionizing their way of thinking, experimenting and making an impact at high speed, always focusing on the customer, the user, the consumer and society.

3. Help the startups in which we invest to develop ways of working and cultures enabling them to grow sustainably in order to make a significant impact.

4. Investing in projects, inside and outside the large corporation, that redefine the established norms of sectors and industries, that disrupt traditional ways of thinking and working to the benefit of all, creating solutions that have not existed before or were in place without having a positive impact.

5. Expedite ideas and initiatives that emerge from the creativity of the ActioGlobal team and that respond to needs identified in their daily interaction with leaders of top organizations all around the world.

What is the Actio.Ventures® portfolio for?

The answer goes beyond the question of why these first startups make up the initial Actio.Ventures® portfolio. The startups and projects in which we have invested and will continue to invest are guided by an investment manual defined by 10 core beliefs:

1. Positive impact on society

At Actio.Ventures® we invest in those who share what we believe in, with whom we share transformative missions that will have a sustainable impact on society.

2. Making the impossible happen

We work with those who look ahead, who look further than most others, who think and act beyond the present, and who do the difficult thing when others think “it’s too complicated.”

3. Passion for the customer

We value founders who look customers in the eye while everyone else is only looking at themselves.

4. Focus, speed and impact

We drive startups that make things happen in a week instead of a month. Those who believe that focus, speed and impact are not mutually exclusive, but rather feed into a virtuous cycle of exponential growth.

5. Narrative, yes, but in terms of execution

We encourage those who do more than just talk. We bring in those who prefer talking through their work and who don’t tell us stories, but rather report on actions, learning and positive impact.

6. Zero smoke

We put our trust in those who spend more time with their teams and their customers than hosting conferences fueled by the corporate bubble show.

7. Focus on rounds, but of iteration

We believe in those who don’t start with financing rounds in mind, but instead present value for customers as quickly as possible, to learn with them and iterate faster than the rest.

8. Your medals: in the trash!

We reinforce those who never look down on others; those who throw away their trophies at the end of the day and start from scratch the next morning.

9. Metrics, not powerpoints

We make grow those who do not simply use metrics to fill Powerpoints, but to better understand what needs to be improved, and who start each day with what the previous day taught them.

10. New questions

We built Actio.Ventures® to empower those who ask questions that have never been asked before, and who seek to solve tomorrow’s problems not just by expertise, or art, or science, or logic, or technology, or talent. But with all of them in one fell swoop.
